Vallejo - Polyurethane Varnish | Gloss Finish 60 ml. (2.02 fl.oz.) | Extraordinary Hardness & Permanence | Create a Perfect Clear Coat | Scratch Resistant for Outdoor and Indoor Surfaces

Muy buen producto lo recomiendo.

This stuff is very thick right out of the bottle. You will definitely need to thin it a minimum of 1:1 with Vallejo airbrush thinner or Flow Improver to shoot it through an airbrush with a .3 mm needle and nozzle. I found the results to be very inconsistent spraying at the recommended 15-20 psi. It looks glossy when it goes on wet but dries to more of a satin finish. However if you put it on heavy it dries to a nice glossy shine but you risk beading and pooling. For the same price you can just get a bottle of Alclad Aqua Gloss which is water based and doesn’t need thinning and dries to a nice smooth and shiny glossy finish. Highly recommend getting Alclad Aqua Gloss over this.

First, I love Vallejo's paints, and I have a background in the coatings industry. However, this product is absolutely far below their usual standard. I have tried every dilution ratio from none to 4:1, with and without flow improver, at airbrush pressures from 15 to 25 psi. The only consistent result has been a lack of consistent results. With all combinations above, I never get the same result twice. I have taken great pains to make sure the coating is well mixed in its bottle, and the reduced (thinned) mixture is thoroughly mixed before it goes into the airbrush cup. One pass looks just fine, next one is either orange peal or coarser blebs on the surface. What's worse is that Vallejo's Product Guide says "… the final result is not a ‘polished glass shine’ but is more than satisfactory for a water-based varnish.” Essentially, it's a satin finish, not gloss. Considering that there are many other gloss coatings out there, this one is far less than satisfactory. Another odd thing: The Vallejo Satin and Matte varnishes work beautifully. The gloss needs a lot more work.

It's basically a thin, clear rubbery coating that will rub off with light finger friction, beads on slick surfaces, reacts with everything including water even after drying for 48 hours. I got my newest piece all done and the decal setting solution totally ate the clear coat and left big holes in the boating and alligator skin anywhere the setting solution sat. I'm not sure what model project this would be good for but I expect more from Vallejo..

Vallejo gloss varnish works great, mixed into paints or to seal a painting. Big downside is the cost. For now I use primarily to mix into paints as it would go too quickly if I used it to seal all of my paintings. However, because it does seal so well, no knicks or brush strokes left behind, I do use occasionally for my smaller paintings, 4” & smaller.

Not good!

I like the size because there is no waste, enough to cover my table, and no product left to dry up on a shelf.
